Хакеры сломали аккаунт компании Tesla на Amazon Cloud и майнили на мощностях автопроизводителя биткоины. Тут место для шутки про то, что если у вашей Model 3 упала максимальная скорость — самое время проверить её антивирусом.
tlgspace"Convenience has the ability to make other options unthinkable. Once you have used a washing machine, laundering clothes by hand seems irrational, even if it might be cheaper. After you have experienced streaming television, waiting to see a show at a prescribed hour seems silly, even a little undignified. To resist convenience — not to own a cellphone, not to use Google — has come to require a special kind of dedication that is often taken for eccentricity, if not fanaticism."
We launched the Future of Design in Start-Ups survey last year to set a baseline for how design operates in the tech ecosystem and also to begin to track what value is created by design in fast growing companies.
На нем собраны 12 законов/правил, которые есть в пользовательском опыте (написал перевод UX, так оно будет более правильным звучать). У каждого закона есть полное описание, ссылки на википедию и другие вспомогательные страницы и даже возможность скачать PDF, чтобы потом распечатать и повесить крутые постеры у себя дома или в офисе.
This self-help startup book says a lot about what’s wrong with Silicon Valley
There is a certain tone that tends to define the self-help business book—direct, oversimplified, self-aggrandizing—and "Shortcut Your Startup" nails it.
Одно из самых масштабных исследований о том, как технологически работает Netflix. Собранно на базе открытых публикаций, статей, интервью. Автор, правда, жалуется что местами статьи противоречат друг другу.
Вот он, 21ый век. А вот в 20ом поступили бы просто - пошли в нетфликс и попросили прояснить некоторые моменты.

Abstract:
We describe a new training methodology for generative adversarial networks. The key idea is to grow both the generator and discriminator progressively: starting from a low resolution, we add new layers that model increasingly fine details as training progresses. This both speeds the training up and greatly stabilizes it, allowing us to produce images of unprecedented quality, e.g., CelebA images at 1024². We also propose a simple way to increase the variation in generated images, and achieve a record inception score of 8.80 in unsupervised CIFAR10. Additionally, we describe several implementation details that are important for discouraging unhealthy competition between the generator and discriminator. Finally, we suggest a new metric for evaluating GAN results, both in terms of image quality and variation. As an additional contribution, we construct a higher-quality version of the CelebA dataset.
We are surrounded by hysteria about the future of artificial intelligence and robotics—hysteria about how powerful they will become, how quickly, and what they will do to jobs. I recently saw a story in MarketWatch that said robots will take half of today’s jobs in 10 to 20 years. It even had a graphic to prove the…

Как Илону Маску удается учится быстрее и лучше, чем кто-либо
Как вообще возможно, что Илон Маск смог построить четыре многомиллиардные компании к 46 годам, да еще и в разных областях — ПО, энергетика, транспорт и аэрокосмос? Некоторые объясняют такой успех его приверженностью работе (он регулярно работает 85 часов в неделю), уникальному видению будущего и впечатляющей стойкости. Но мне кажется, что всего этого недостаточно. Многие люди обладают такими качествами. Я хочу узнать, что он сделал иначе. Пока я читал статьи и книги и просматривал видеоролики о Маске, я заметил…

In these instances the iPhone X is reaching the very pinnacle of computing: doing a necessary job, in this case security, better than humans can. The fact that this case is security is particularly noteworthy: it has long been taken as a matter of fact that there is an inescapable trade-off between security and ease-of-use; TouchID made it far easier to have effective security for the vast majority of situations, and FaceID makes it invisible.
Apple’s original competitive advantage — the integration of hardware and software — is more durable than disruption theory would suggest.
